The Value of Photo Albums in a Digital Age
Photo albums are making a comeback in the Wedding industry. A photo album has a certain romance, nostalgia, and emotional value that you just cannot get from scrolling through your phone or computer. Here are three reasons why a photo album is an absolute must-have:
ALBUMS TELL A STORY
An album captures the details and tells the story of your wedding day in a way that nothing else can. From start to finish, each page transports you right back to a moment in time, preserving it forever. Not only will you get to curl up on the couch each anniversary to relive that special day, you will also get to snuggle up with your kids and tell them story after story as you flip through each page. From the first look, to the getaway car, and everything in between, your album will tell the entire story of your covenant commitment to love & cherish each other forever. Something that powerful deserves a prominent place on your coffee table!
2. ALBUMS DO WHAT IPHONES CAN’T
When budgeting for their wedding, most brides choose to invest a lot in their dream photographer. That was my top priority when planning my wedding. Too often, those wonderful images don’t make it any further than your camera roll and a few Instagram posts. You’re left with hundreds of photos (that you spent a lot of money to have) never printed, displayed, or enjoyed. Digital images are meant to be a temporary method of storage, and the best way to bring your photos to life through print is to tell your story through a beautiful wedding album.
3. ALBUMS STAND THE TEST OF TIME
Because technology is rapidly changing and evolving it can be difficult to keep up. VHS tapes and floppy discs used to fill our homes and now they are a thing of the past. If your photos are only on your phone you can lose them at any moment. Something can always go wrong in the digital world and suddenly years of memories that once filled your camera roll are gone. Your photos may be stored safely on a USB drive now, but it may not be long before your computer no longer has a USB port and getting access to those photos becomes increasingly difficult. Printing your photos in an album ensures that your photos and the memories associated with them will last forever. Regardless of how technology changes, your album will remain a family heirloom to pass down for generations to come.
